Situation and medium-term forecast
Grass pollen is still causing burden!
The flowering of grasses is still responsible for allergological burden. Low to moderate grass pollen concentrations have to be expected widespread in the lowlands. Caution has to be taken at higher altitudes, because moderate to high burden from grass pollen is prevailing there.
Summer thunderstorms may decrease the pollen concentrations in the air but will have an individually variable impact on concerned pollen allergy sufferers (see remark).
Remark: A weather situation like the current one may leads to a particular burden, because pollen could burst open during thunderstorms and release free allergen into the air.
Rye grass, bentgrass, and Bermuda grass are among others currently flowering and allergological important grasses. Dock and plantain flower.
The pollen season is progressing, and the season of weeds is approaching. We expect the start of the mugwort pollen season from a current point of view for end of July depending on region and development.
Depending on the weather conditions fungal spores will occur in moderate to high concentrations in the air in the lowlands. The burden decreases with rising altitudes.
What else: The pollen spectrum contains pollen of nettle, linden, goosefoot family, mercuries, cypresses and yews.
